00:00Most of them are suggesting a landslide greater than 1997 and indeed greater than the national
00:06government in 1931. So it seems to me that there is a distinct possibility here of a landslide
00:12that's the largest that there's ever been in British electoral history. And as I say, under
00:18those circumstances, it is absolutely vital that we have an opposition in there that is strong
00:24enough to challenge that government through time. You know, the shine will come off Labour
00:30in government. The taxes will be raised. People's pensions will be raided. And a lot of the things
00:37that they've been promising, such as cutting down illegal immigration, by scrapping Rwanda will not
00:42happen. And under those circumstances, we will need MPs in there who are going to hold that
00:46government to account.
